Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, while engineered wood consists of a top layer of hardwood veneer over plywood or high density fibreboard (HDF). Engineered wood is more resistant to moisture and can be installed in more areas of the home.

To reduce noise, consider using underlay, carpets or rugs. Additionally, installing flooring with noise reducing properties such as cork or carpet can help minimise sound transmission.

For allergy sufferers, hard surface flooring is generally the best choice, as it doesn’t trap allergens like dust, pollen and pet dander the way carpets do. Hardwood, laminate, and vinyl tiles are all excellent options, as they can be easily cleaned with regular sweeping or mopping to keep allergens at bay.

Vinyl tiles, in particular, are ideal for allergy-prone households because their non-porous surfaces don’t harbour mould or bacteria. Engineered timber is also a good option if you prefer the look of wood, as its smooth surface prevents the accumulation of allergens.

If you love carpet, consider opting for low-pile or hypoallergenic options, and make sure to vacuum frequently with a HEPA filter. Additionally, using an air purifier can help reduce airborne allergens.
